yes, it was me --or better a friend, from my computer, who was delighted by the $$\scriptstyle\hearts$$-derivative, so I made him try editing. --pma (talk) 22:16, 11 November 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm glad that you friend liked it :o) Dr Dec  (Talk)   22:31, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

Proof theory
I forgot to mention, a very basic intro to old-fashioned proof theory is here. I'm not any kind of expert and most of what I know basically comes from there, but I found it pretty accessible. 69.228.171.150 (talk) 03:56, 12 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for that. It looks a lot easier to read :o) Dr Dec  (Talk)   19:13, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

WP:SOCK
Please see the relevant section at the mathematics reference desk, in which I note that, per WP:SOCK, retaliating with an IP is inappropriate. In particular, if you are found guilty, it will be considered a serious breach of Wikipedia conduct. -- PS T  04:34, 17 November 2009 (UTC)


 * You mean this post of yours? Well, if you go to this webpage you will be able to enter the user's IP address and get a geographical location. You will see that the user you mention has an IP address registered some where close to the Yorkshire Dales. I suggest that instead of making public accusations you go and speak to a checkuser, they will check my IP address and find that it is registered to a Greater Manchester address. Try Sockpuppet investigations for more information. I hope that, upon receiving the result that the IP and myself are different people in different parts of the country, you will be as public in your apology as you have been in your accusations. It seems that instead of sock puppetry the truth is that I'm not the only one that thinks you've been acting as the RD's spokesperson. Dr Dec  (Talk)   12:08, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Dr Dec, I saw your post at Carcharoth's talk page. I'm 99% sure he will tell you that checkuser is not run on request of the user themself. This is due to the privacy implications for unrelated editors who might for one reason or other have used the same IP address. My advice on how to proceed is to just laugh it off. If PST has serious concerns about sockpuppetry, they can take it to WP:SPI as you've noted. Otherwise, they're just blowing smoke.
 * I'll also note that you (the royal you, as in all of you) should be conducting those meta-discussions at the RD talk page, not on the desks themselves. Remember, the desks are for answering questions posted by other people? In future, I'd suggest you refactor "internal" bickering onto the talk page, including PST's accusation, since it has nothing to do with addressing the OP's question (such as it was, I don't see many one-word questions on RD/S). And if PST's conduct at RD/M is an ongoing concern, the RD talk page would be a good place to raise that issue too. Hope that helps a bit. Franamax (talk) 13:14, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks on both counts. Dr Dec  (Talk)   14:14, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
